::hugs tight:: That sucks.
I'm looking to see how the Thanksgiving opt-out protest will turn out.

When we flew through SF, I got chosen for the backscatter, and I wasn't really in any mood to be fussy, so I just went through. But I still had to wait a good while for [livejournal.com profile] tirerim who needed to get a cursory pat down because of his insulin pump. I was told by the TSA agent that I had to stand away from him or I would need one too.

Maybe we'll soon see a "Markets in Everything" based on this comic (http://www.overcompensating.com/posts/20101116.html). (I don't think I'd recommend the comic as a series, but this one is applicable)

Out of curiosity, would have you been less startled if the TSA agent had said "we need a female agent for an opt-out" rather than "we have a female opt-out?"
